KILLARNEY IMPROVED. 



The new deep piuk Killarney lose 

 being placed on the market this sea- 

 son by A. N. Pierson is identical with 

 the original Killarney in all respects 

 except that it holds its deep pink 

 color uniformly through all the sea- 

 sons—a vei-y desirable quality. The 

 rose originated at the Montrose 

 Greenhouses of N. F. McCarthy & Co., 

 of Boston, and had two years' severe 

 test before it was sold to A. N. Pier- 

 son, who is now introducing it to the 

 trade and controls the stock. It will 

 undoubtedly supercede the original 

 pale and irregular type in the same 

 manner as Bridesmaid superceded 

 Catherine Mermet years ago. 



THERE'S MONEY IN THIS ROSE. 



Among the sterling novelties adver- 

 tised in this paper by that level-head- 

 ed plantsman, C. H. Totty, keep your 

 eye on Lady Hillingdon rose. Mr. Tot- 

 ty is fortunate in being able to offer 

 stock of it as the demand is such that 

 there is very little of it lying around 

 for this season. Nothing lovelier in 

 bud form or more vigorous and healthy 

 in growth can be found, while the bril- 

 liant orange-copper color and heavy 

 foliage give it a standing at once with 

 rose lovers. Its qualities as a forcing 

 rose are vouched for by the most prom- 

 inent rose growers in the country.
